Urgent Help - Fuel Pump Seal replacement

Post by WestyK » Sun Sep 01, 2019 4:18 pm

Hi All.
Have a slight problem with replacing the fuel pump seals

All went quite well considering but when i started to tidy up found a small cup shaped washer that I can only assume came out of the spring side of the pump as this was the last side i did.
Easy enough to get at and it fits the in the plunger hole so am sure its from there.
My question is which way around dose it go I cant find a diagram that shows it.

Its not from the spring to cap side as I was very careful with this and it all came out together.

Thanks in advance.
Ian

Thank you

Yes that helps though I seem to have something in between the 2 types of pump.

The pump that looks like mine doesn't show this washer but the other one does. Odd :?
It shows it in the way i thought it went as well so am a little happier now.

I took a chance and fitted it how it seemed most logical to go and everything seems to be running fine (and no leaks) :)

For future reference the cup faces in side the pump / plunger so the flat side is against the spring.

Hope that may help others

Thanks
Ian
